Problem with "data_provider" = "function" in the metadata.json?

[flaf]

Hi,

a) I'm using puppet-forge-server version 1.9.0 (commit ab01f33) and during a puppet module upgrade mymodule, I have error messages in the syslog (see here).

Is there a problem with puppet-forge-server and the "function" data provider in metadata.json?

b) I don't know if it was related, but I was unable to upgrade my module. A false problem of dependencies was mentioned. But dependencies were fine. I have forced the upgrade of my module and of one dependency which must be upgraded too and after that all was installed correctly without any problem of dependency (puppet module list didn't mention any problem of dependency).

Impossible to reproduce the problem b) however...

Hi,

It would be helpful to look at your metadata.json and a way to reproduce the upgrade issue.
The error message regarding data_provider is harmless. It occurs here: https://github.com/unibet/puppet-forge-server/blob/master/lib/puppet_forge_server/models/builder.rb#L26.It's either a new supported or a custom metadata field. https://github.com/unibet/puppet-forge-server/blob/master/lib/puppet_forge_server/models/metadata.rb could be updated to include it.

Sorry, indeed I should give an example of metadata.json. Here is an example that triggers the error here. I think data_provider is a new entry since Puppet 4. It's documented here. Its value can be null, "none", "hiera" or "function".
